About This Tire

The Firestone Winterforce 2 215/55R16 is a winter tire, designed for coupe, sedan, and minivan drivers who prioritize snow and ice traction with the flexibility of optional studding in harsh winter conditions. Its directional tread pattern and cold-weather compound focus on maximizing grip through high sipe density and effective water evacuation.

The tire features deep circumferential grooves, wide lateral notches, and open shoulder slots that channel slush and water away from the contact patch to resist hydroplaning. Its construction includes twin steel belts over a polyester casing for durability, and it meets severe snow service requirements with the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol. Driver feedback indicates strong wet weather performance and reliable dry handling, with good comfort levels and respectable tread longevity for a winter-focused tire.

Compared to all-season tires, it prioritizes cold-weather traction and snow performance over year-round versatility. Overall, it's a solid choice for passenger vehicles used primarily for winter driving in regions with regular snow, ice, and freezing temperatures.
